Hi park fans

Before you begin your Natparks journey, I want to welcome you. I'm thrilled you're joining me on this adventure through our national parks.

We’re at a special time in technology where things are exciting. The internet has a wealth of information, but it's scattered - across websites, social media, and blogs. We can do better! Our app is designed to streamline this, making it easier and more efficient.

As we introduce more features, the app will learn about your outdoor lifestyle, and bring information to you. There’s a few tips below to help you get started.

A heartfelt thanks to our early testers who played a vital role in bringing this app to life.

Two quick steps to get started

1. Tell the app which park you want to visit next

Start on the parks home screen and find a park you’re interested in.

Do this: Go to the park details page, tap the heart icon on the top-right to favorite that page, then browse through all the trails and points of interest, and favorite those places too. You can access your favorites from the parks home via the heart icon at the top.

2. Log your last park adventure with some photos

Let’s start building your parks timeline and adding some photos. This will also earn you your first achievement badge.

Do this: Tap the “Trips” icon on the bottom, press the “Add a Trip” button and start adding the details and uploading photos from your past trip

That's it! From there just start exploring the app and let us know your feedback.
